Vintage aircraft fly in to Museum of Flight

Locally owned military aircraft will land at The Museum of Flight in Seattle on Memorial Day weekend for the annual Cascade Warbirds Fly-In, Saturday, May 29, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The collection allows visitors to view a wide variety of meticulously restored vintage military aircraft representing several nations’ armed forces from World War II through the Vietnam conflict, museum officials said.

Aircraft expected to be on view include the North American T-28 Trojan (pictured), DeHavilland DHC-1 Chipmunk, Cessna O-2 Skymaster and a Douglas AD-4 Skyraider. In addition, the pilot/owners of these planes will be on hand to answer questions and share their enthusiasm for these vintage warbirds. The Cascade Warbirds is an affiliate squadron of the Experimental Aircraft Association’s Warbirds of America organization. The EAA’s B-17 bomber, Aluminum Overcast, will also be at the museum that day — and through Monday, May 31 — for rides and ground tours.
